prank #20 | video / action route 34

[The sight greeting you when John's pokegear clicks on today?]



[Yup. That sure is a freshly-hatched Nosepass sitting in the grass in front of John's legs. They have to be John's legs, because who else in Johto wears bright red shoes with flames on them? Seems for once he's filming his own post.]

So that mysterious egg that I asked about a while back finally hatched. I still have no idea where this thing came from, but I am beginning to think that it belonged to someone who is no longer here. But anyway. Yeah it...hatched into a rock. Again. Though I'm pretty sure there isn't going to be a ghost popping out of this one like last time.

Has anyone seen this kind before? It kind of looks like one of those Easter Island heads. And also my dad... Apparently it's like a natural compass or something? The pokedex made it sound pretty nea-- [He cuts off as the Nosepass suddenly starts glowing and making a strange high-pitched whine-like noise. You know, the kind that might be associated with something that's about to blow up.]

Uh...okay, that's weird. Why is it glowing like... [Realization get] Oh fu--

[The feed clicks off as John (presumably) realizes what's about to happen and runs for cover. To anyone on the end of Route 34 near Goldenrod or somewhere near the entrance of said City, you may or may not have just heard a minor explosion. Depends on how far away you are and how good your hearing is.]

((ooc: The egg originally belonged to Clubs Deuce prior to him leaving Johto. It was his Easter egg, hence why it knows Explosion. Yay egg moves. Also, responses will come in a few hours when I get back from visiting my parents))

[This is what being a cop + an antisocial bastard will get you. Do not follow his example kiddies.]

That sounds completely lame. Some musicians are pirates in my world so far too many songs wind up supporting the idea. Who decided to call the sound thieves pirates? Next they'll complain about recording sounds of the ocean belonging to the seagulls in the background.


[ooc: .... I feel the need to point out now that I spend $400+ yearly on music because I don't dl on principle. =\ So arguing this is funny, but freaking weird.]

I'm sorry to hear that. It must be pretty annoying for you. But uh...I'm not really sure who decided to call them that. People just...do.

((ooc: RP is magical, isn't it? Also I'm going to take a moment to tell you that this is the most fun I've had in a cross-canon thread in a while. :D))

Tch. All right. Well, real pirates attack shipping lines and hold people ransom, sometimes turn into slavers or murderers, either way they're a lot more criminal than petty thieves like that.

[ooc: SO magical. Also awww adkjsalkdj I'm flattered <33 It's so much fun *_*]

Hehe, yeah. I can honestly say that I am glad that those types of pirates aren't around in my world anymore.

What got rid of them?

[voice]

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-03 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
I think the main reason was just time. I don't think they could really keep up and change and adapt to the rest of the world changing. It happens.

That's a strange concept.

Do marines survive?

[voice]

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-04 09:12 am (UTC)(link)
Uh huh! At least in some countries. The one I'm from has marines. Heck, people join their service every day. Though, instead of pirates, they fight against other country's marines in order to protect their own.
justicereigns: ("......")

[personal profile] justicereigns 2011-08-04 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Other countries' marines... There's no world government or something to prevent that?

[voice]

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-04 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh...well there's a United Nations, but that's not really a world "government" persay. They try to stop countries from going to war but it doesn't always work. Every country has its own government and makes its own decisions.

Because each countries' military is roughly equal to each others?

Does the United Nations have its own military or marines or police force?

[voice]

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 09:52 am (UTC)(link)
Roughly so, yeah. And if its not then they ally themselves with someone to give themselves a boost.

I'm not sure about that though. I don't think they do, I'm pretty sure it's more just a meeting of world leaders to try and smooth things over peacefully. Though for all I know, they could have a police force.

Interesting. In some ways it's almost more primitive than my world... or perhaps what might happen if Dragon's Rebellion completely succeeded. Although I'm not really sure making the World Government peaceful only wouldn't be such a bad thing. But without an army, I don't see how they could enforce anything.
